ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

DONATE:

VEHICLE TICKETS - Where to check for them & how to make sure that they cleared in Costa Rica

I would suggest at least once a year - or at least before it's time to pay your Marchamo &/or Riteveone should REALLY check their License Plate•"Placa" number every so often (if you're a speed queen like me [a BIG part of the reason I RARELY drive in Costa Rica and will NOT own a car here since I can't drive in Costa Rica like I like to!!!] - you might want to check it every MONTH or so) as the will NOT notify you of any infractions so you won't find out otherwise till you go to pay your Marchamo or Riteve and by then, there WILL be some NICE $$$$ FINES attached and you will NOT be able to renew either your Marchamo or Riteve till the fines have been paid (and of course you can not challenge it if it's expired)

WHERE TO CHECK ONLINE TO SEE IF YOU HAVE ANY
OUTSTANDING VEHICLE TICKETS
IN COSTA RICA:

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


Do you have any old Vehicle Tickets that you paid up or worked off? 
This IS Costa Rica and things do not always go as planned so you might SERIOUSLY want to make sure that it!!!

If you have the CITATION NUMBER check this link to see if it's cleared•it's status:
 www.csv.go.cr/servicios/consulta-infracciones-boleta.aspx


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


ANOTHER REASON YOU WANT TO MAKE SURE ALL IS PAID UP AND CLEAR?
They CAN - and DO - PREVENT people from either Leaving Costa Rica - OR Coming Back INTO Costa Rica till it's ALL paid up/cleared!!!
People HAVE been known to be taken OFF an airplane even!!!!


@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@


"Share" this with EVERYONE you know that has a car - so they can be cautious!!!
